Alan is Adamant

Although John McCain has secured enough votes to gain the Republican nomination, Alan Keyes refuses to accept McCain's more moderate Republican views and has continued to stay in the race, setting an example for conservatives everywhere who do not accept McCain's ideas. Keyes has also pondered taking another route in the election, mentioning to supporters on Friday that he would consider leaving the Republican party and running as a candidate from the Consitution Party. A Keyes supporter noted on his blog that "Alan asked us to pray about it. That’s what he is doing as he is considering these things. He did not say that he is definately going to do it, but from the tone of things I am going to say its very likely." This is a calculated move by Keyes to show his disdain for McCain and run as a third party spoiler candidate. Many officials on the Keyes campaign have echoed this sentiment, repeating the opinion voiced by Alan himself that he refuses to be a Republican who accepts the "type of deodorant we need to make a stinking candidate acceptable to conservatives."
